  • Your lottery is having difficulty growing the organization’s revenue and is pursuing an iLottery initiative.
  • Your lottery cannot learn about the player journey solely through player-retail transactions, making it difficult to personalize the player experience and increase customer acquisition and retention.
  • COVID-19 has affected retail lottery sales and has accelerated the change in consumer behaviors.
  • With greater competition from the broader gaming industry in terms of digital convenience, game products, and player experience, collision is a real cause for concern for lottery if its traditional methods do not evolve.

With a long-term vendor contract on the table, ensure that your organization is equipped to tackle tomorrow’s challenges today.

Impact and Result

  • Determine the health of your current operations and processes as the first step towards your iLottery implementation.
  • Ensure your organization has examined potential risks and considerations when executing iLottery and has identified manageable solutions to conquer these hurdles.
  • Select an iLottery vendor and strategy that will be well received by the organization and your stakeholders: players, retailers, and legislators.
